Have or be

In life, we meet so many forms,
Thoughts, desires, fears, and norms.
But behind it all lies a quiet space,
A timeless realm of loving grace.
An emptiness that holds and gives birth,
Beyond time, free from the bounds of earth.
Chorus:
To have or to be, that is the question.
If you try to own love, it leads to tension.
But in being, it flows, so free, so wide,
Loving unconditionally, beyond the grasp of time.
Verse 1:
You seek your joy, you try to hold it tight,
But soon you find it chains your light.
Love becomes a trade, a currency, a game,
Yet true love is quiet, never seeking fame.
No contracts, no claims, just a glowing spark,
Eternal and free, untouched by the dark.
Chorus:
To have or to be, that is the question.
If you try to own love, it leads to tension.
But in being, it flows, so free, so wide,
Loving unconditionally, beyond the grasp of time.
Verse 2:
A glance that understands, a tender touch,
Love is unity—it connects so much.
No “I” that demands, no “you” that must lose,
Just infinite space, where love gently moves.
Chorus:
To have or to be, that is the question.
If you try to own love, it leads to tension.
But in being, it flows, so free, so wide,
Loving unconditionally, beyond the grasp of time.
Outro:
No beginning, no end—love always remains,
A river that flows through time’s vast plains.
Not an “I,” not a “you,” just a boundless “we,”
The essence of life—hidden in thee.
No possession, no craving, just purest being,
Love eternal—and yet never for keeping.
